Figure

Byron Dingman

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing figure holding a bundle or object in the left arm, while the right arm rests on a small child standing beside. The figure appears robed or draped in a garment with green and white colors, showing vertical patterns or lines. The sculpture is made from a material that suggests a ceramic or stone-like texture, with a smooth, somewhat polished surface. It has coloration in shades of white, green, and yellow, with darker tones on the bundle held by the figure. The sculpture has a classical and traditional look, resembling historical or religious sculptures, featuring gentle features and a calm, composed presence.
